Obituary of Jayne Marie Moriarty

Jayne Marie Moriarty, formerly of Charlestown, and a cherished long-time resident of Woburn, departed from us on December 11, 2025.

Jayne graced this world on November 4, 1962, beloved daughter of the late Gertrude Butler Moriarty, and the late Harris D. Moriarty.

Jayne leaves behind her devoted sister and caregiver, Dawn Moriarty Richards, who lovingly supported her for 28 remarkable years. Jayne was a proud aunt to Michael and Heidi Richards and a great aunt to Aiden Michael Teves.

Jayne was one of God’s special children a true blessing in our lives—a radiant spirit filled with joy and love. Her warmth touched everyone she encountered, and she was affectionately adored in return.

With her infectious laughter and boundless energy, Jayne spent over 30 years attending a day program at Opportunity Works in Newburyport, where she formed countless friendships. She embraced life wholeheartedly, taking joy in simple pleasures like family outings for ice cream or slushes, and found joy in observing the world around her, often seeing the humor in everyday moments.

Our sweet Jayne was taken from us far too soon, leaving behind a legacy of love and light. Her spirit will forever be missed and cherished in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

Visitation will be at the Arthur P. Graham Funeral Home, 3 Arlington Rd., Woburn on Friday, December 19 from 10:00-11:00 am, followed by a funeral service in the funeral home at 11:00am.  Burial will take place at the Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett.  Contributions in Jayne’s memory may be made to the charity of your choice.
